What is The length of the mid-segment of a triangle with a base of twelve?

The base of the triangle equals (2x) the mid-segment, so.... 12/2 = 2x/2 6= x


What is the line called when you join 2 mid-points in a triangle?

It would be called the midsegment of the triangle. And when you have all the midpoints of the triangle joined, you would get the midsegment triangle. It is one fourth of the area of the actual triangle


Argument to showing that an equilateral triangle cannot have a right angle?

If you have an equilateral triangle ABC, then draw the line from A to D, the mid point of BC. Then in trangles ABD and ACD, AB = AC (equilateral), BD = DC (D is midpoint), and AD is common so these two triangles are congruent and so angle ABD = angle ACD. That is, angle ABC = angle ACB. Similarly the third angle can be shown to be the same. Thus an equilateral triangle is also equiangular. Now, sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. So since sum of three equal angles measures is 180 degrees, they must be 60 degrees each, i.e. NOT 90 degrees so there is no right angle..

How do you calculate the length of a side of an equilateral triangle given the height?

Letting S represent the length of a side of an equilateral triangle having a height of 1 unit, then drawing a perpendicular from the mid point of a side to the opposite vertex creates a right triangle having sides 1, S, and ½S, with S being the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides; thus S2 = (H2 + (½)2S2) = 1 + ¼S2. Subtracting 1 from each side, S2 - 1 = ¼S2. Multiplying the terms on each side by 4, 4S2 - 4 = S2; subtracting S2 from each side, 3S2 - 4 = 0; adding 4 to each side, 3S2 = 4; dividing each side by 3, S2 = 4/3; Taking the square root of each side, S = 2/1.732 = 1.1547 The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is the product of 1.1547 x height. (Note: 1.1547 is twice the reciprocal of the square root of 3.) Example: if the height of an equilateral triangle is 30 cm, the length of each side will be 34.641cm (30 x 1.1547cm).

What is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle called?

I think it's called a vertice, and there are 3 vertices in a triangle. -- WRONGCORRECTION- it is NOT called a vertice. A vertice is each angle point, there ARE three vertices in a triangle but they the point of each angle.Now, a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is called a mid-segment. There are three mid-segments in a triangle.Go here for more info* http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GP10/MidLineL.htm *

What are the lines of symmetry on a regular polygon triangle?

A regular polygon triangle is an equilateral triangle. It has three lines of symmetry: a line passing through each vertex and the mid-point of the opposite side. These are the three medians or altitudes or perpendicular bisectors or angle bisectors of the triangle - they are all the same lines.

What is the midsegment of a triangle to the opposite side of the triangle?

The question does not make any sense. A "midsegment" suggests the mid part (or point) of a line. But a triangle cannot have a line opposite to a line since it has only three lines!

Median is the line drawn from the vertex to the mid point of the opposite side. Hence there are three medians possible.
